Matchbook Valentines and Love!

I thought that I would try the matchbook valentines that Lexi showed in her video. They can hold little gifts of candy as soon as I get some. Lol Just click on the title above to see how she did it. Here is my attempt.

I used the die called Enclosed Present and cut it from dark blue foil. Hard to see in the picture. I did a plaid design with my Zig Clean color makers. In Lexi's video, she used staples to hold the bottom flap down. I do not have a stapler here. We are renting this house and we have most of the comforts of home, but no stapler. So, I had to improvise with the brads that you see on the bottom.

I am also entering the next project in the Mod Squad Challenge this week, Love is in the Air. My BFF Judy Woodland and a new buddy, Vicki Dutcher are the hosts this week. Welcome Vicki!

Ok, I must confess. I made this project for another challenge and realized that I did not use the required supplies. So I decided to tell the truth and enter it in this challenge. Donna, you know what I am talking

about.

Another matchbox valentine candy holder with brads. The stamp and dies on this one are from Simon Says Stamps and are called Roses for You. Colored with my Zigs.

I am making no excuses, as I only got 3 hours of sleep last night. I am blaming it on the cappuccino that I had last night. Hope that you all have a great day. I will probably be taking a nap. Lol

Oh, aren't these just so stinkin' cute? I have made these before for wedding favors with the bride and groom's names and the ate. Then I put a Ghirardelli Chocolate inside. Great take on the challenge, I love both of them.Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at the Mod Squad. You ROCK!!!

Your secret was safe with me, silly girl! ;) I do LOVE both of your designs. Making your own plaid, to quote Judy on occasion, was genius! lol Loving the flowers on your second one too! Both are beautifully designed....if you're like me you will wait til Feb 13th to pick up the candy to fill these Hahahaha
